With a man, it was not a man,

Unless you bless me. so, he said to him,

'what is your name?' and he said,
00:02:09.309 --> 00:02:09.776

'your name shall no longer be called jacob,

Be called jacob, but your new name is israel.
00:02:14.547 --> 00:02:16.649
But your new name is israel. for you have struggled
00:02:16.716 --> 00:02:17.917
For you have struggled with god and with men
00:02:17.984 --> 00:02:19.953
With god and with men and have prevailed.'"
00:02:20.019 --> 00:02:21.387
And have prevailed.'" this is --
00:02:21.454 --> 00:02:22.288
This is -- what he's saying is,
00:02:22.355 --> 00:02:23.790
What he's saying is, "everything changes here

"everything changes here today in this spot for you."
00:02:25.525 --> 00:02:29.095
Today in this spot for you." then jacob asked, saying,
00:02:29.162 --> 00:02:31.097
Then jacob asked, saying, 'tell me your name, i pray.'
00:02:31.164 --> 00:02:34.267
'tell me your name, i pray.' and he said,
00:02:34.334 --> 00:02:35.501
And he said, 'why is it that you
00:02:35.568 --> 00:02:36.469
'why is it that you ask about my name?'
00:02:36.536 --> 00:02:38.204
Ask about my name?' listen,
00:02:38.271 --> 00:02:38.972
Listen, "and he blessed him there."
00:02:39.038 --> 00:02:41.541
"and he blessed him there." he god, jesus blessed him there.
00:02:41.608 --> 00:02:44.644
He god, jesus blessed him there. now here's why i know it --
00:02:44.711 --> 00:02:46.045
Now here's why i know it -- who it was.
00:02:46.112 --> 00:02:47.580
Who it was. "so, jacob called
00:02:47.647 --> 00:02:48.514
"so, jacob called the name of the place, peniel,"
00:02:48.581 --> 00:02:50.683
The name of the place, peniel," listen, "for i have seen
00:02:50.750 --> 00:02:52.952
Listen, "for i have seen god face to face,
00:02:53.019 --> 00:02:56.222
God face to face, and my life is preserved.
00:02:56.289 --> 00:02:59.525
And my life is preserved. just as he crossed over peniel,
00:02:59.592 --> 00:03:02.495
Just as he crossed over peniel, the sun rose on him,
00:03:02.562 --> 00:03:05.665
The sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip
00:03:05.732 --> 00:03:07.433
And he limped on his hip because it had been
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:08.067
Because it had been pulled out of joint.
00:03:08.134 --> 00:03:11.404
Pulled out of joint. therefore, this day,
00:03:11.471 --> 00:03:12.972
Therefore, this day, the children of israel
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:14.173
The children of israel do not eat the muscle
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:15.875
Do not eat the muscle that shrink,
00:03:15.942 --> 00:03:17.710
That shrink, which is on the hip socket
00:03:17.777 --> 00:03:19.112
Which is on the hip socket because he touched
00:03:19.178 --> 00:03:20.980
Because he touched the socket of jacob's hip
00:03:21.047 --> 00:03:23.549
The socket of jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank."
00:03:23.616 --> 00:03:27.020
In the muscle that shrank." and in that moment,
00:03:27.086 --> 00:03:29.389
And in that moment, the angel said to jacob,
00:03:29.455 --> 00:03:30.890
The angel said to jacob, "what is your name?
00:03:30.957 --> 00:03:33.126
"what is your name? and he said, 'i'm jacob.'
00:03:33.192 --> 00:03:34.093
And he said, 'i'm jacob.' he said,
00:03:34.160 --> 00:03:34.560
He said, 'i'm changing your name
00:03:34.627 --> 00:03:35.762
'i'm changing your name from jacob,'"
00:03:35.828 --> 00:03:37.530
From jacob,'" which means worm,
00:03:37.597 --> 00:03:39.332
Which means worm, "to israel,"
00:03:39.399 --> 00:03:40.099
"to israel," which means prince.
00:03:40.166 --> 00:03:42.802
Which means prince. in this one encounter,
00:03:42.869 --> 00:03:44.771
In this one encounter, you go from a worm to a prince.
00:03:44.837 --> 00:03:46.673
You go from a worm to a prince. and then i'm --
00:03:46.739 --> 00:03:47.573
And then i'm -- some translations
00:03:47.640 --> 00:03:48.274
Some translations say it like this.
00:03:48.341 --> 00:03:49.008
Say it like this. "i'm give --
00:03:49.075 --> 00:03:49.776
"i'm give -- you have prevailed,
00:03:49.842 --> 00:03:50.910
You have prevailed, and i'm giving you favor
00:03:50.977 --> 00:03:53.780
And i'm giving you favor and power with god and man."
00:03:53.846 --> 00:03:58.051
And power with god and man." [applause]
00:03:58.117 --> 00:04:00.753
[applause] favor with god,
00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:05.158
Favor with god, favor with man,
00:04:05.224 --> 00:04:08.761
Favor with man, it's called the blessing.
00:04:08.828 --> 00:04:11.230
It's called the blessing. and the text said
00:04:11.297 --> 00:04:12.231
And the text said he blessed him there.
00:04:12.298 --> 00:04:15.335
He blessed him there. with what?
00:04:15.401 --> 00:04:16.536
With what? with favor with god
00:04:16.602 --> 00:04:19.972
With favor with god and with man.
00:04:20.039 --> 00:04:21.341
And with man. what does that mean?
00:04:21.407 --> 00:04:22.975
What does that mean? that means that anything you do
00:04:23.042 --> 00:04:25.345
That means that anything you do that's in the will of god,
00:04:25.411 --> 00:04:26.446
That's in the will of god, when you come
00:04:26.512 --> 00:04:27.080
When you come out of that encounter,
00:04:27.146 --> 00:04:28.314
Out of that encounter, god will give you his favor,
00:04:28.381 --> 00:04:31.584
God will give you his favor, and he'll cause people who don't
00:04:31.651 --> 00:04:33.286
And he'll cause people who don't even like you to bless you,
00:04:33.353 --> 00:04:38.091
Even like you to bless you, to open doors for you.
00:04:38.157 --> 00:04:40.259
To open doors for you. i've actually
00:04:40.326 --> 00:04:40.893
I've actually had 'em tell me,
00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:42.095
Had 'em tell me, "i don't even like you,
00:04:42.161 --> 00:04:43.563
"i don't even like you, but god told me."
00:04:43.629 --> 00:04:47.567
But god told me." hallelujah!

That hell can't curse. there is a blessing that can

There is a blessing that can come on your family and on your

Come on your family and on your children and on your business

And when you win the battle in that spiritual place,
00:05:00.513 --> 00:05:02.315
In that spiritual place, god says,
00:05:02.382 --> 00:05:03.416
God says, "you don't just have
00:05:03.483 --> 00:05:04.350
"you don't just have favor up here
00:05:04.417 --> 00:05:05.118
Favor up here in heaven someday,
00:05:05.184 --> 00:05:06.819
In heaven someday, you're gonna have it
00:05:06.886 --> 00:05:07.453
You're gonna have it down there on earth
00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:08.454
Down there on earth with men."
00:05:08.521 --> 00:05:11.924
With men." and if the enemy
00:05:11.991 --> 00:05:12.658
And if the enemy comes one way,
00:05:12.725 --> 00:05:13.659
Comes one way, he flees seven.
00:05:13.726 --> 00:05:16.829
He flees seven. wow!
00:05:16.896 --> 00:05:18.431
Wow! those moments --
00:05:18.498 --> 00:05:18.965
Those moments -- listen carefully,
00:05:19.031 --> 00:05:20.099
Listen carefully, when he got changed --
00:05:20.166 --> 00:05:21.167
When he got changed -- in his name,
00:05:21.234 --> 00:05:22.001
In his name, think of that.
00:05:22.068 --> 00:05:22.935
Think of that. he was just jacob
00:05:23.002 --> 00:05:24.237
He was just jacob and he was about to die.
00:05:24.303 --> 00:05:25.772
And he was about to die. his brother was coming
00:05:25.838 --> 00:05:26.406
His brother was coming to kill him.
00:05:26.472 --> 00:05:27.573
To kill him. and in one encounter he says,
00:05:27.640 --> 00:05:30.042
And in one encounter he says, "no longer will you
00:05:30.109 --> 00:05:30.643
"no longer will you be called jacob.
00:05:30.710 --> 00:05:31.444
Be called jacob. you will be called israel.
00:05:31.511 --> 00:05:32.845
You will be called israel. your -- in other words,
00:05:32.912 --> 00:05:33.613
Your -- in other words, "your children, your 12 --
00:05:33.679 --> 00:05:35.915
"your children, your 12 -- your eventually 12 sons
00:05:35.982 --> 00:05:36.849
Your eventually 12 sons will become the children
00:05:36.916 --> 00:05:38.384
Will become the children of not jacob, israel.
00:05:38.451 --> 00:05:42.622
Of not jacob, israel. and out of those children
00:05:42.688 --> 00:05:44.190
And out of those children will come tribes,
00:05:44.257 --> 00:05:44.957
Will come tribes, and out those tribes
00:05:45.024 --> 00:05:45.792

Of them called judah. and out of judah
00:05:47.527 --> 00:05:48.127
And out of judah will come a messiah.
00:05:48.194 --> 00:05:49.061
Will come a messiah. boy, i'm blessing you.
00:05:49.128 --> 00:05:51.764
Boy, i'm blessing you. i'm taking a deceiver
00:05:51.831 --> 00:05:54.767
I'm taking a deceiver and i'm turning him
00:05:54.834 --> 00:05:55.935
And i'm turning him into a receiver.
00:05:56.002 --> 00:05:59.405
Into a receiver. and you're not gonna
00:05:59.472 --> 00:06:00.206
And you're not gonna be fake anymore,
00:06:00.273 --> 00:06:01.507
Be fake anymore, you're gonna be real.
00:06:01.574 --> 00:06:02.375
You're gonna be real. and you're not
00:06:02.442 --> 00:06:03.109
And you're not gonna be ashamed of me.
00:06:03.176 --> 00:06:05.311
Gonna be ashamed of me. and i'm gonna make you
00:06:05.378 --> 00:06:06.446
And i'm gonna make you as the sands of the seashore
00:06:06.512 --> 00:06:08.448
As the sands of the seashore and the stars of heaven.
00:06:08.514 --> 00:06:10.683
And the stars of heaven. and jacob,
00:06:10.750 --> 00:06:11.284
And jacob, you were a loser
00:06:11.350 --> 00:06:12.318
You were a loser when i found you,
00:06:12.385 --> 00:06:13.986
When i found you, but because you have made up
00:06:14.053 --> 00:06:16.422
But because you have made up your mind that
00:06:16.489 --> 00:06:17.657
Your mind that you would not die
00:06:17.723 --> 00:06:18.991
You would not die just in the marking,
00:06:19.058 --> 00:06:20.293
Just in the marking, but you would hold on
00:06:20.359 --> 00:06:21.160
But you would hold on to the blessing,
00:06:21.227 --> 00:06:23.996
To the blessing, i'm gon' to bless you
00:06:24.063 --> 00:06:25.097
I'm gon' to bless you in ways in the world
00:06:25.164 --> 00:06:26.466
In ways in the world that you cannot even imagine."
00:06:26.532 --> 00:06:30.937
That you cannot even imagine." that moment
00:06:31.003 --> 00:06:32.038
That moment redefined his identity.
00:06:32.104 --> 00:06:34.440
Redefined his identity. and that's what happens --
00:06:34.507 --> 00:06:36.676
And that's what happens -- i love all the organizations
00:06:36.742 --> 00:06:39.245
I love all the organizations that try to help people
00:06:39.312 --> 00:06:40.413
That try to help people get unaddicted and set free --
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.582
Get unaddicted and set free -- and anything and everything,
00:06:42.648 --> 00:06:44.383
And anything and everything, i'm all for it,
00:06:44.450 --> 00:06:45.585
I'm all for it, as long as it's helping
00:06:45.651 --> 00:06:46.919
As long as it's helping people deal with it.
00:06:46.986 --> 00:06:48.588
People deal with it. but the one thing
00:06:48.654 --> 00:06:49.555
But the one thing that i don't agree with
00:06:49.622 --> 00:06:52.058
That i don't agree with is that once an alcoholic,
00:06:52.124 --> 00:06:54.026
Is that once an alcoholic, you always have to identify
00:06:54.093 --> 00:06:56.596
You always have to identify as an alcoholic.
00:06:56.662 --> 00:06:57.930
As an alcoholic. once as a drug addict,
00:06:57.997 --> 00:06:59.265
Once as a drug addict, you always --
00:06:59.332 --> 00:07:00.032
You always -- i'm telling you,
00:07:00.099 --> 00:07:00.900
I'm telling you, there is an encounter
00:07:00.967 --> 00:07:02.001
There is an encounter with god that can
00:07:02.068 --> 00:07:03.402
With god that can change your name
00:07:03.469 --> 00:07:05.371
Change your name and change your identity
00:07:05.438 --> 00:07:07.507
And change your identity and change your nature
00:07:07.573 --> 00:07:09.542
And change your nature and change your walk
00:07:09.609 --> 00:07:11.577
And change your walk and change your talk.
00:07:11.644 --> 00:07:14.380
And change your talk. oh, i wish we'd
00:07:14.447 --> 00:07:15.147
Oh, i wish we'd get back to that.
00:07:15.214 --> 00:07:16.282
Get back to that. real salvation
00:07:16.349 --> 00:07:17.250
Real salvation will change your walk.
00:07:17.316 --> 00:07:19.151
Will change your walk. it'll change your talk.
00:07:19.218 --> 00:07:20.987
It'll change your talk. "i don't want what
00:07:21.053 --> 00:07:21.888
"i don't want what i used to want.
00:07:21.954 --> 00:07:22.955
I used to want. i don't talk like
00:07:23.022 --> 00:07:23.890
I don't talk like i used to talk."
00:07:23.956 --> 00:07:25.358
I used to talk." and if you got a filthy,
00:07:25.424 --> 00:07:26.592
And if you got a filthy, potty mouth,
00:07:26.659 --> 00:07:27.627
Potty mouth, you need to get saved.
00:07:27.693 --> 00:07:29.629
You need to get saved. if you can go around cursing
00:07:29.695 --> 00:07:31.097
If you can go around cursing and chewing people out
00:07:31.163 --> 00:07:33.165
And chewing people out and treating people --
00:07:33.232 --> 00:07:34.233
And treating people -- at some point he comes
00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.669
At some point he comes and he says,
00:07:36.736 --> 00:07:37.470
And he says, "i need to work
00:07:37.537 --> 00:07:38.471
"i need to work on who you are.
00:07:38.538 --> 00:07:39.705
On who you are. i want you to walk away
00:07:39.772 --> 00:07:41.240
I want you to walk away with a new identity."
00:07:41.307 --> 00:07:43.743
With a new identity." [applause]
00:07:43.809 --> 00:07:48.548
[applause] he went from a deceiver
00:07:48.614 --> 00:07:50.349
He went from a deceiver to a receiver.
00:07:50.416 --> 00:07:52.418
To a receiver. and he said this
00:07:52.485 --> 00:07:53.085
And he said this powerful phrase,
00:07:53.152 --> 00:07:54.287
Powerful phrase, "my life is preserved.
00:07:54.353 --> 00:07:56.656
"my life is preserved. he has preserved my future."
00:07:56.722 --> 00:07:59.792
He has preserved my future." i tell you,
00:07:59.859 --> 00:08:00.393
I tell you, there is a place this morning
00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:02.028
There is a place this morning and an encounter waiting on you
00:08:02.094 --> 00:08:03.829
And an encounter waiting on you where fear does
00:08:03.896 --> 00:08:05.064
Where fear does not dominate you anymore.
00:08:05.131 --> 00:08:08.467
Not dominate you anymore. i know that's happened to me.
00:08:08.534 --> 00:08:09.702
I know that's happened to me. there's been times
00:08:09.769 --> 00:08:10.670
There's been times when i just had
00:08:10.736 --> 00:08:11.671
When i just had to get alone with god,
00:08:11.737 --> 00:08:13.573
To get alone with god, and my fear
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:14.173
And my fear was so overwhelming
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.075
Was so overwhelming of what might happen.
00:08:16.142 --> 00:08:17.209
Of what might happen. this might happen.
00:08:17.276 --> 00:08:18.277
This might happen. even through the years
00:08:18.344 --> 00:08:19.111
Even through the years pastoring this church,
00:08:19.178 --> 00:08:20.179
Pastoring this church, and just the challenges
00:08:20.246 --> 00:08:21.914
And just the challenges all the time.
00:08:21.981 --> 00:08:23.082
All the time. it never stops.
00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:26.218
It never stops. and in those moments,
00:08:26.285 --> 00:08:27.420
And in those moments, sometimes i'll just say
00:08:27.486 --> 00:08:29.055
Sometimes i'll just say to the family, to cherise,
00:08:29.121 --> 00:08:30.790
To the family, to cherise, to everybody,
00:08:30.856 --> 00:08:32.491
To everybody, "i've got to be alone."
00:08:32.558 --> 00:08:35.561
"i've got to be alone." and when i go in,
00:08:35.628 --> 00:08:37.296
And when i go in, i'm defeated,
00:08:37.363 --> 00:08:40.132
I'm defeated, but when i come out
00:08:40.199 --> 00:08:41.634
But when i come out of those encounters,
00:08:41.701 --> 00:08:43.569
Of those encounters, i have a courage
00:08:43.636 --> 00:08:44.503
I have a courage that i cannot explain.
00:08:44.570 --> 00:08:46.439
That i cannot explain. i have a faith that does not
00:08:46.505 --> 00:08:48.174
I have a faith that does not alter with the blowing
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.275
Alter with the blowing of the wind in whatever
00:08:49.342 --> 00:08:50.309
Of the wind in whatever direction the wind blows.
00:08:50.376 --> 00:08:51.577
Direction the wind blows. but something in me says,
00:08:51.644 --> 00:08:53.512
But something in me says, "if god be for me,
00:08:53.579 --> 00:08:55.514
"if god be for me, who can be against me?
00:08:55.581 --> 00:08:57.550
Who can be against me? and i have favor with god
00:08:57.617 --> 00:08:59.251
And i have favor with god and favor with man,
00:08:59.318 --> 00:09:01.087
And favor with man, and he will bring it to pass."
00:09:01.153 --> 00:09:03.389
And he will bring it to pass." take a praise break.
00:09:03.456 --> 00:09:05.124
Take a praise break. take a praise break.
00:09:05.191 --> 00:09:06.225
Take a praise break. i don't know who's
00:09:06.292 --> 00:09:06.892
I don't know who's fighting a battle,
00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:07.927
Fighting a battle, but don't you let
00:09:07.994 --> 00:09:08.694
But don't you let go during the marking.
00:09:08.761 --> 00:09:10.196
Go during the marking. if you'll hold on,
00:09:10.262 --> 00:09:11.163
If you'll hold on, there's a blessing
00:09:11.230 --> 00:09:12.264
There's a blessing coming down your dusty road.
00:09:12.331 --> 00:09:14.233
Coming down your dusty road. [applause]
00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:16.702
[applause] i'm almost done.
00:09:16.769 --> 00:09:18.037
I'm almost done. i'm almost done.
00:09:18.104 --> 00:09:20.239
I'm almost done. and notice this,
00:09:20.306 --> 00:09:21.207
And notice this, the bible said,
00:09:21.273 --> 00:09:21.974
The bible said, "and when the sun rose,"
00:09:22.041 --> 00:09:25.011
"and when the sun rose," after he pulled his
00:09:25.077 --> 00:09:25.945
After he pulled his hip out of socket,
00:09:26.012 --> 00:09:28.681
Hip out of socket, "he halted upon his thigh."
00:09:28.748 --> 00:09:30.850
"he halted upon his thigh." in other words,
00:09:30.916 --> 00:09:31.517
In other words, it altered his walk.
00:09:31.584 --> 00:09:34.487
It altered his walk. in other words,
00:09:34.553 --> 00:09:36.489
In other words, the next step that he took
00:09:36.555 --> 00:09:38.491
The next step that he took was different from the way
00:09:38.557 --> 00:09:40.026
Was different from the way he walked into that situation.
00:09:40.092 --> 00:09:44.397
He walked into that situation. what i'm trying to say to you
00:09:44.463 --> 00:09:45.798
What i'm trying to say to you is the step that he took
00:09:45.865 --> 00:09:46.899
Is the step that he took after coming to that moment
00:09:46.966 --> 00:09:48.934
After coming to that moment was not the same step
00:09:49.001 --> 00:09:50.436
Was not the same step he was going to take.
00:09:50.503 --> 00:09:51.704
He was going to take. now, ooh, this is so important.
00:09:51.771 --> 00:09:55.408
Now, ooh, this is so important. when you really encounter god
00:09:55.474 --> 00:09:57.576
When you really encounter god the way that i'm preaching
00:09:57.643 --> 00:09:58.210
The way that i'm preaching this morning,
00:09:58.277 --> 00:09:59.311
This morning, not a religious something,
00:09:59.378 --> 00:10:00.546
Not a religious something, another bible, blah,
00:10:00.613 --> 00:10:01.714
Another bible, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:10:01.781 --> 00:10:02.548
Blah, blah, blah. i'm talking about a personal
00:10:02.615 --> 00:10:04.016
I'm talking about a personal encounter with jesus christ.
00:10:04.083 --> 00:10:07.319
Encounter with jesus christ. it will alter,
00:10:07.386 --> 00:10:08.387
It will alter, in other words,
00:10:08.454 --> 00:10:09.989
In other words, it altered --
00:10:10.056 --> 00:10:10.856
It altered -- the steps --
00:10:10.923 --> 00:10:12.291
The steps -- the step that he took
00:10:12.358 --> 00:10:13.592
The step that he took after he pulled his hip
00:10:13.659 --> 00:10:15.294
After he pulled his hip out of joint was not the same
00:10:15.361 --> 00:10:18.397
Out of joint was not the same step he would've
00:10:18.464 --> 00:10:19.665
Step he would've taken before.
00:10:19.732 --> 00:10:22.001
Taken before. and that's a type.
00:10:22.068 --> 00:10:23.035
And that's a type. that's an analogy of what a true
00:10:23.102 --> 00:10:27.306
That's an analogy of what a true encounter with jesus christ.
00:10:27.373 --> 00:10:29.008
Encounter with jesus christ. not religion,
00:10:29.075 --> 00:10:29.975
Not religion, not baptist, methodist,
00:10:30.042 --> 00:10:31.377
Not baptist, methodist, pentecostal, not any of that.
00:10:31.444 --> 00:10:34.280
Pentecostal, not any of that. not church,
00:10:34.346 --> 00:10:35.214
Not church, not churchy stuff.
00:10:35.281 --> 00:10:36.816
Not churchy stuff. an encounter with jesus.
00:10:36.882 --> 00:10:39.618
An encounter with jesus. you know,
00:10:39.685 --> 00:10:39.919
You know, the one who carried
00:10:39.985 --> 00:10:41.187
The one who carried your sins to the cross,
00:10:41.253 --> 00:10:43.456
Your sins to the cross, the one who in agony
00:10:43.522 --> 00:10:45.524
The one who in agony and moaned and groaned,
00:10:45.591 --> 00:10:47.259
And moaned and groaned, and he had you on his mind
00:10:47.326 --> 00:10:49.028
And he had you on his mind when they hung him high
00:10:49.095 --> 00:10:50.296
When they hung him high and they stretched him wide.
00:10:50.362 --> 00:10:55.735
And they stretched him wide. and it changed his next step.
00:10:55.801 --> 00:11:01.073
And it changed his next step. your next step will
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:02.641
Your next step will either be the right direction
00:11:02.708 --> 00:11:04.043
Either be the right direction or the wrong direction.
00:11:04.110 --> 00:11:06.445
Or the wrong direction. and it all depends
00:11:06.512 --> 00:11:07.313
And it all depends on whether or not
00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:08.347
On whether or not you have an encounter with god.
00:11:08.414 --> 00:11:12.952
You have an encounter with god. it changes your identity,
00:11:13.018 --> 00:11:14.520
It changes your identity, it affects your journey,
00:11:14.587 --> 00:11:15.888
It affects your journey, it changes your direction.
00:11:15.955 --> 00:11:17.923
It changes your direction. and lastly,
00:11:17.990 --> 00:11:20.493
And lastly, because of this touch,
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:23.329
Because of this touch, when the angel touched him
00:11:23.395 --> 00:11:26.132
When the angel touched him in that encounter
00:11:26.198 --> 00:11:28.501
In that encounter and marked him,
00:11:28.567 --> 00:11:30.603
And marked him, the bible said in verse 32,
00:11:30.669 --> 00:11:32.138
The bible said in verse 32, you'll read right over,
00:11:32.204 --> 00:11:33.372
You'll read right over, it's the last
00:11:33.439 --> 00:11:34.106
It's the last verse of the text,
00:11:34.173 --> 00:11:35.975
Verse of the text, and it says in verse 32,
00:11:36.041 --> 00:11:37.743
And it says in verse 32, "therefore, the children
00:11:37.810 --> 00:11:39.612
"therefore, the children of israel,"
00:11:39.678 --> 00:11:41.847
Of israel," this is so weird,
00:11:41.914 --> 00:11:43.349
This is so weird, "did not eat the muscle
00:11:43.415 --> 00:11:44.717
"did not eat the muscle that shrank,
00:11:44.784 --> 00:11:46.318
That shrank, which is on the hip socket
00:11:46.385 --> 00:11:48.988
Which is on the hip socket because he," jesus the angel,
00:11:49.054 --> 00:11:53.058
Because he," jesus the angel, "touched the socket
00:11:53.125 --> 00:11:54.960
"touched the socket of jacob's hip
00:11:55.027 --> 00:11:56.328
Of jacob's hip in the muscle that shrank."
00:11:56.395 --> 00:12:00.766
In the muscle that shrank." what is that about?
00:12:00.833 --> 00:12:03.135
What is that about? when you have one of these
00:12:03.202 --> 00:12:04.236
When you have one of these encounters that i'm talking
00:12:04.303 --> 00:12:05.504
Encounters that i'm talking about this morning,
00:12:05.571 --> 00:12:08.641
About this morning, there is a touch,
00:12:08.707 --> 00:12:10.009
There is a touch, and that touch so defines you
00:12:10.075 --> 00:12:14.647
And that touch so defines you that they used to eat
00:12:14.713 --> 00:12:16.048
That they used to eat that part of the sheep.
00:12:16.115 --> 00:12:19.385
That part of the sheep. they used to eat that muscle
00:12:19.451 --> 00:12:21.153
They used to eat that muscle that was over the hip.
00:12:21.220 --> 00:12:22.288
That was over the hip. they used to,
00:12:22.354 --> 00:12:23.189
They used to, but they don't do it anymore.
00:12:23.255 --> 00:12:25.324
But they don't do it anymore. what happened?
00:12:25.391 --> 00:12:26.759
What happened? when they got a fresh touch,
00:12:26.826 --> 00:12:28.360
When they got a fresh touch, they got a fresh conviction.
00:12:28.427 --> 00:12:32.298
They got a fresh conviction. and if you don't
00:12:32.364 --> 00:12:32.998
And if you don't ever get fresh touches,
00:12:33.065 --> 00:12:34.266
Ever get fresh touches, you don't get any
00:12:34.333 --> 00:12:35.067
You don't get any fresh convictions.
00:12:35.134 --> 00:12:40.172
Fresh convictions. but they said,
00:12:40.239 --> 00:12:41.173
But they said, "because he got touched,
00:12:41.240 --> 00:12:43.576
"because he got touched, it's affecting us.
00:12:43.642 --> 00:12:45.678
It's affecting us. and we will ne --
00:12:45.744 --> 00:12:46.579
And we will ne -- we used to eat
00:12:46.645 --> 00:12:47.079
We used to eat it all the time,
00:12:47.146 --> 00:12:48.247
It all the time, but that part of that animal
00:12:48.314 --> 00:12:49.782
But that part of that animal we will never eat again."
00:12:49.849 --> 00:12:53.419
We will never eat again." and it wasn't legalism,
00:12:53.485 --> 00:12:55.855
And it wasn't legalism, it was just the fact
00:12:55.921 --> 00:12:56.922
It was just the fact that they had had
00:12:56.989 --> 00:12:57.990
That they had had an encounter with god,
00:12:58.057 --> 00:12:59.058
An encounter with god, and he had touched
00:12:59.124 --> 00:13:00.025
And he had touched some part of their life --
00:13:00.092 --> 00:13:02.127
Some part of their life -- of his life,
00:13:02.194 --> 00:13:02.995
Of his life, the hollow place.
00:13:03.062 --> 00:13:07.132
The hollow place. guess what i'm trying to preach
00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.400
Guess what i'm trying to preach is when you walk out of church,
00:13:08.467 --> 00:13:11.003
Is when you walk out of church, every once in a while,
00:13:11.070 --> 00:13:11.804
Every once in a while, you ought to walk out
00:13:11.871 --> 00:13:13.172
You ought to walk out with a new conviction.
00:13:13.239 --> 00:13:17.910
With a new conviction. "i don't think that's necessary.
00:13:17.977 --> 00:13:19.311
"i don't think that's necessary. and i don't know --
00:13:19.378 --> 00:13:20.813
And i don't know -- i don't like that.
00:13:20.880 --> 00:13:22.147
I don't like that. and i don't let go --
00:13:22.214 --> 00:13:24.149
And i don't let go -- i'm gon' to just
00:13:24.216 --> 00:13:24.884
I'm gon' to just let go of that conviction.
00:13:24.950 --> 00:13:25.885
Let go of that conviction. and i tell you,
00:13:25.951 --> 00:13:26.719
And i tell you, times have changed,
00:13:26.785 --> 00:13:27.820
Times have changed, and we just need to
00:13:27.887 --> 00:13:28.787
And we just need to be like everybody else.
00:13:28.854 --> 00:13:30.022
Be like everybody else. and i can hold on to this
00:13:30.089 --> 00:13:31.357
And i can hold on to this and hold on to that and do it --
00:13:31.423 --> 00:13:32.491
And hold on to that and do it -- live any old way i want to live
00:13:32.558 --> 00:13:33.993
Live any old way i want to live and i'm okay.
00:13:34.059 --> 00:13:35.594
And i'm okay. and me and --
00:13:35.661 --> 00:13:36.962
And me and -- jesus is just all
00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:38.163
Jesus is just all right with me.
00:13:38.230 --> 00:13:39.732
Right with me. jesus is."
00:13:39.798 --> 00:13:40.633
Jesus is." [laughter]
00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:45.771
[laughter] but i'm gonna
00:13:45.838 --> 00:13:46.305
But i'm gonna tell you something.
00:13:46.372 --> 00:13:48.307
Tell you something. we're throwing
00:13:48.374 --> 00:13:48.908
We're throwing away our convictions.
00:13:48.974 --> 00:13:52.311
Away our convictions. we're seeing a nation
00:13:52.378 --> 00:13:53.445
We're seeing a nation who's lost its moral
00:13:53.512 --> 00:13:54.413
Who's lost its moral values completely.
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.949
Values completely. we're losing the desire
00:13:57.016 --> 00:13:59.184
We're losing the desire for the house of god.
00:13:59.251 --> 00:14:00.019
For the house of god. thank god it's not around here.
00:14:00.085 --> 00:14:01.854
Thank god it's not around here. but i'm just saying.
00:14:01.921 --> 00:14:04.023
But i'm just saying. the things that made us great,
00:14:04.089 --> 00:14:06.425
The things that made us great, great families.
00:14:06.492 --> 00:14:09.061
Great families. when we got saved,
00:14:09.128 --> 00:14:10.195
When we got saved, we threw stuff
00:14:10.262 --> 00:14:11.030
We threw stuff out of our lives.
00:14:11.096 --> 00:14:11.864
Out of our lives. not 'cause somebody made us,
00:14:11.931 --> 00:14:13.165
Not 'cause somebody made us, but we just felt
00:14:13.232 --> 00:14:14.066
But we just felt convicted of it.
00:14:14.133 --> 00:14:15.200
Convicted of it. "i'm done with that.
00:14:15.267 --> 00:14:16.969
"i'm done with that. i'm done with that lifestyle.
00:14:17.036 --> 00:14:18.637
I'm done with that lifestyle. i'm done with that.
00:14:18.704 --> 00:14:19.772
I'm done with that. i don't want that lifestyle.
00:14:19.838 --> 00:14:22.474
I don't want that lifestyle. and so, what happens
00:14:22.541 --> 00:14:24.176
And so, what happens is if you don't
00:14:24.243 --> 00:14:25.010
Is if you don't have a fresh touch
00:14:25.077 --> 00:14:26.045
Have a fresh touch every now and then,
00:14:26.111 --> 00:14:27.913
Every now and then, you don't get a conviction
00:14:27.980 --> 00:14:29.214
You don't get a conviction like that.
00:14:29.281 --> 00:14:30.883
Like that. that says,
00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:31.417
That says, "as for me and my house,
00:14:31.483 --> 00:14:32.484
"as for me and my house, we will serve the lord.
00:14:32.551 --> 00:14:35.220
We will serve the lord. i can't partake
00:14:35.287 --> 00:14:36.088
I can't partake of that no longer."
00:14:36.155 --> 00:14:38.223
Of that no longer." when we lack convictions,
00:14:38.290 --> 00:14:39.658
When we lack convictions, it's because we lack those
00:14:39.725 --> 00:14:41.493
It's because we lack those moments that mark us.
00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:48.467
Moments that mark us. before you make a decision
00:14:48.534 --> 00:14:49.735
Before you make a decision to just throw some
00:14:49.802 --> 00:14:51.303
To just throw some conviction away
00:14:51.370 --> 00:14:52.504
Conviction away and pick up stuff that you
00:14:52.571 --> 00:14:54.039
And pick up stuff that you once felt convicted of again.
00:14:54.106 --> 00:14:56.842
Once felt convicted of again. you used to not get drunk.
00:14:56.909 --> 00:14:58.644
You used to not get drunk. you used to not to get high.
00:14:58.711 --> 00:15:00.045
You used to not to get high. you used to run with
00:15:00.112 --> 00:15:01.680
You used to run with the clubs and sleep around.
00:15:01.747 --> 00:15:03.582
The clubs and sleep around. you used to not to do
00:15:03.649 --> 00:15:04.483
You used to not to do it when you got saved.
00:15:04.550 --> 00:15:05.684
It when you got saved. before you start going
00:15:05.751 --> 00:15:06.885
Before you start going back to that stuff,
00:15:06.952 --> 00:15:09.188
Back to that stuff, i want you to have a revival.
00:15:09.254 --> 00:15:11.423
I want you to have a revival. and i want you
00:15:11.490 --> 00:15:12.057
And i want you to come out of a service
00:15:12.124 --> 00:15:13.459
To come out of a service where the holy spirit has moved.
00:15:13.525 --> 00:15:15.527
Where the holy spirit has moved. and then after you've
00:15:15.594 --> 00:15:17.496
And then after you've had an encounter,
00:15:17.563 --> 00:15:18.731
Had an encounter, there ought to be --
00:15:18.797 --> 00:15:19.798
There ought to be -- before you let
00:15:19.865 --> 00:15:20.766
Before you let go of something that's been
00:15:20.833 --> 00:15:21.834
Go of something that's been in your family for a long time,
00:15:21.900 --> 00:15:25.504
In your family for a long time, faith that's been
00:15:25.571 --> 00:15:26.472
Faith that's been in your family, young people
00:15:26.538 --> 00:15:27.973
In your family, young people for a long time,
00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:29.341
For a long time, convictions and standards
00:15:29.408 --> 00:15:31.210
Convictions and standards and values that have been
00:15:31.276 --> 00:15:32.811
And values that have been in your family for a long time,
00:15:32.878 --> 00:15:36.448
In your family for a long time, there ought to be some tears
00:15:36.515 --> 00:15:37.850
There ought to be some tears before you just let it go.
00:15:37.916 --> 00:15:39.551
Before you just let it go. there ought to be some fasting.
00:15:39.618 --> 00:15:41.320
There ought to be some fasting. do it after you fasted 21 days.
00:15:41.387 --> 00:15:44.256
Do it after you fasted 21 days. do it after you've been in
00:15:44.323 --> 00:15:45.691
Do it after you've been in a red hot service
00:15:45.758 --> 00:15:47.126
A red hot service and the power of god,
00:15:47.192 --> 00:15:48.127
And the power of god, and you kept wiping
00:15:48.193 --> 00:15:49.061
And you kept wiping the tears away,
00:15:49.128 --> 00:15:50.262
The tears away, and you were embarrassed
00:15:50.329 --> 00:15:51.630
And you were embarrassed cause the presence
00:15:51.697 --> 00:15:52.197
Cause the presence of god was so --
00:15:52.264 --> 00:15:53.198
Of god was so -- then go out and light
00:15:53.265 --> 00:15:54.433
Then go out and light you up a cigarette.
00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:56.135
You up a cigarette. [laughter]
00:15:56.201 --> 00:15:58.837
[laughter] oh, i just --
00:15:58.904 --> 00:15:59.338
Oh, i just -- i --
00:15:59.405 --> 00:15:59.938
I -- where did that come from?
00:16:00.005 --> 00:16:01.073
Where did that come from? [laughter]
00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:03.542
[laughter] but i'll tell you one thing.
00:16:03.609 --> 00:16:04.476
But i'll tell you one thing. i do feel today that
00:16:04.543 --> 00:16:05.811
I do feel today that there's about 500 people
00:16:05.878 --> 00:16:07.279
There's about 500 people that can be delivered
00:16:07.346 --> 00:16:08.113
That can be delivered from vapes.
00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:10.649
From vapes. and all it takes is a marking.
00:16:10.716 --> 00:16:13.485
And all it takes is a marking. all it takes --
00:16:13.552 --> 00:16:15.287
All it takes -- i appreciate counseling,
00:16:15.354 --> 00:16:16.655
I appreciate counseling, i appreciate tampering
00:16:16.722 --> 00:16:17.623
I appreciate tampering off on it,
00:16:17.689 --> 00:16:18.557
Off on it, i appreciate --
00:16:18.624 --> 00:16:19.391
I appreciate -- but every now and then
00:16:19.458 --> 00:16:20.692
But every now and then you need to have an encounter.
00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:22.361
You need to have an encounter. because what happens is
00:16:22.428 --> 00:16:23.629
Because what happens is when he touches you,
00:16:23.695 --> 00:16:26.131
When he touches you, suddenly there's
00:16:26.198 --> 00:16:27.533
Suddenly there's a fresh conviction.
00:16:27.599 --> 00:16:28.934
A fresh conviction. "and i used to,
00:16:29.001 --> 00:16:30.436
"and i used to, but i don't do it anymore."
00:16:30.502 --> 00:16:31.870
But i don't do it anymore." and i feel myself sometimes,
00:16:31.937 --> 00:16:33.972
And i feel myself sometimes, the very current of this world
00:16:34.039 --> 00:16:36.575
The very current of this world is to pull us away,
00:16:36.642 --> 00:16:37.943
Is to pull us away, pull us away,
00:16:38.010 --> 00:16:38.644
Pull us away, pull us away.
00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:39.778
Pull us away. and every now and then,
00:16:39.845 --> 00:16:40.579
And every now and then, when i feel myself --
00:16:40.646 --> 00:16:41.513
When i feel myself -- and it's happening
00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:42.347
And it's happening and i'm letting
00:16:42.414 --> 00:16:42.748
And i'm letting my standards down
00:16:42.815 --> 00:16:43.882
My standards down and i'm not on it,
00:16:43.949 --> 00:16:45.584
And i'm not on it, and i'll just have to get
00:16:45.651 --> 00:16:46.919
And i'll just have to get alone with god,
00:16:46.985 --> 00:16:51.523
Alone with god, and i'll come
00:16:51.590 --> 00:16:52.124
And i'll come outta that place.
00:16:52.191 --> 00:16:55.027
Outta that place. i wrote this down the other day,
00:16:55.094 --> 00:16:56.261
I wrote this down the other day, and i think it's
00:16:56.328 --> 00:16:56.895
And i think it's the word of the lord.
00:16:56.962 --> 00:16:59.665
The word of the lord. if you've been
00:16:59.731 --> 00:17:00.199
If you've been questioning everything,
